04 December, Indian Navy Day, History
Indian Navy Day is celebrated on December 4th every year to honor the efforts & role of the Indian Navy in Operation Trident conducted during the Indo-Pakistan war in 1971.
The Indian Navy played a Crucial Role during the war. To commemorate the attack and to pay tribute to all the navy personnel who sacrificed their lives serving the nation, Indian-Navy Day is observed. During the Indo-Pak War in 1971, Pakistan launched an attack on December 3 on Indian air bases. In response to their offensive attacks, the Indian Navy planned an attack on the night of 4th and 5th December, as Pakistan didn’t have the aircraft to carry out bombings.
